In a major push to stabilize global economic ties, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Xie Feng outlined a roadmap for cooperation at the China-U.S. Business Cooperation Forum in Washington, D.C. this week. With over 100 business leaders from both nations attending, the event highlighted fresh momentum amid rising geopolitical tensions.
Two Key Contexts Shaping Relations
Ambassador Xie emphasized two critical factors driving bilateral relations in 2025: frequent high-level diplomacy between Chinese and U.S. leaders, including a recent phone call following their meeting in Busan, and China’s newly unveiled 15th Five-Year Plan, which charts an “irreversible” path toward Chinese modernization. “These contexts aren’t just trends—they’re opportunities,” he stated.
Three Lists for Progress 📋
Xie urged businesses to focus on:
Expanding dialogue to support government efforts
Lengthening cooperation in tech and services, with a fair environment for Chinese firms
Shortening problems by curbing political smears
The call comes as China and the U.S. prepare to host APEC and G20 meetings in 2026, setting the stage for deeper collaboration.
Why It Matters 🌐
With global markets still recovering from pandemic-era disruptions, cross-Pacific partnerships could unlock stability—especially for young entrepreneurs and investors eyeing AI and green energy sectors. As CCPIT Chairman Ren Hongbin noted: “Trust isn’t built overnight, but every deal is a brick in that bridge.”
